Cortney Bailey is the winner of the Kraus-Anderson Construction Company Mission/Vision Award for October 2015.

Cortney is a marketing assistant in the Circle Pines office. She was nominated by Mary Kaeding, senior marketing coordinator in the Minneapolis office. Her nomination reads:

“A marketing assistant working primarily in the Circle Pines office, Cortney landed at KA just about a year ago and has been happily rolling with the dynamic work environment from day one! Almost upon arrival, her job description and work location were revised to address some heavy demands in the marketing department. She was quickly enlisted to help with proposal preparation—a move that required learning robust layout software. Fortunately she’s a very quick study, and she picked up these new technology skills without missing a beat. Cortney is also diligent in addressing her other duties, including administration of Quality Surveys and supporting KA’s very sophisticated Cosential CRM program. In addition, we’ve also tapped into her experience in social media to become a vital part of our social media team, where she assists in numerous presentations and individual trainings. Cortney is dedicated to continuous improvement, seeking out additional opportunities for professional growth such as the Leadership Saint Paul program.

Busy as she is, she is always cheerful and energetic, and more than willing to do whatever it takes to help or support a co-worker, bringing with her that magical combination of skill, commitment and people person. She’s an exceptional representative of our company and our people, and truly embodies our core purpose of building enduring relationships and strong communities.”
